Updated: Beer Advocate's EBF by the numbers

Wednesday

I’m not big on numbers. I mean, I’m a reporter. There are Websites built to help us do math.

But, I was just taking a look at Beer Advocate’s EBF site, looking ahead to the festival held the weekend of Feb 3 and 4 and the beer list inspired me to do some counting.

The site lists 79 brewers attending pouring 373 beers, and I delved a little bit more into the numbers in a way that may not interest anyone but me, but here goes.

Of the 373 beers, 39 are less than 5 percent alcohol by volume; 99 are between 5 percent ABV and 6.9 ABV; 90 are between 7 percent ABV and 8.9 percent ABV; 73 are between 9 percent ABV and 10.9 percent ABV; 45 are between 11 percent ABV and 12.9 percent ABV and 26 are higher than 13 percent ABV.
